Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the claim under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the Employment Judge made a determination of the claim on the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £807.68 gross. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £692.30.
The written judgment stated that the respondent must therefore pay £1,499.98 gross in total. The accompanying notice on interest explained the statutory position under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, including that no interest would be payable if the sum was paid within 14 days after the relevant decision day, but no separate interest amount was assessed in the judgment itself.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
